What is Japan Geopark?
A Geopark certified by the Japan Geopark Committee is a place where you can learn about and enjoy the Earth.
In a Geopark, you can explore the processes of the Earth’s land and nature in greater depth, while also discovering the local lifestyles and cultures that are closely connected to them.
By sharing the beauty and significance of these natural wonders and working to prevent environmental degradation, we aim to create a region that can be enjoyed by everyone for generations to come.
